When F. Scott Fitzgerald was writing the novels we know today, he was also publishing short stories in popular magazines like The Saturday Evening Post and Esquire. Although many of Fitzgerald's short stories are celebrated and included in anthologies today, more remain out of print than one might expect from a writer of his caliber. Some of these forgotten stories deserve to be rediscovered by the many readers who love Fitzgerald's work. Sarah Churchwell, author of the acclaimed book Careless People: Murder, Mayhem and the Invention of The Great Gatsby, has selected a dozen forgotten short stories from Fitzgerald's career, highlighting, in various ways, his most familiar themes: the changing meanings of America in the first half of the twentieth century and the desire to bridge the gap between the rich and the poor through a romantic quest for charm, hope, and wonder. Each of these stories offers a variation on the theme of America, a world we have lost, but can hear echoes of in Fitzgerald's characteristically rich, vibrant prose.
